Re: GURPS Hooligans
We just had the first capital football derby in Finland in something like forty years and if I read the message boards and the news correctly, people were almost proud that there was a small scuffle before it. You aren't a truly European country unless you use football as an excuse for inexcusable behaviour.

Also, what do you think about Sense of Duty (FC Solothurn)? I wanted to make it so you had a Sense of Duty to the players of the Footballclub, the management and the fans. I think that [-5] are not enough but [-10] is a bit too much. Any thoughts? |

Re: GURPS Hooligans
I'm looking at the description in the Basic Set and indeed, it's a pretty big gap: [-5] for close friends and [-10] for a nation. I'd say that [-10] would be closer because the Sense of Duty of football fans is quite "irrational". Football is larger than life so naturally the Sense of Duty would be larger than the actual number of individuals involved.

Re: GURPS Hooligans
IQ 12 seems high, and I would've maybe even put it at 9.
And all the secondary artistic skills should really just be covered by Propaganda or Savoir Faire. That is, Quote:

Re: GURPS Hooligans
Hobby (Football Trivia) and Current Affairs (Football News). Note Current Affairs (Sports) is not suitable; hooligans are not interested in other sports.

Re: GURPS Hooligans
I would like to see some rules which makes it an advantage to drink before the game starts and makes it a challenge to stop in time. (You need to drink a lot before the match in order to be cool but it wil affect you fighting abilities).

Yeah, most Hooligans will probably be quite unintelligent or downright stupid. But there might be the occasional Hooligan that has a higher IQ. I personally know a guy who's a FC Basel Ultra in his free time and during day, he's an MD and I would not stat him out at 9 IQ. I guess it was stupid of me to write in my first post that you could use it as a realistic template because it is definately not. It was created for a silly and cinematic campaign albeit having a lower power level than I usually am comfortable with. The powerlevel helps the streetfighting though, makes it more intense IMHO.

You are right of course about the Hobby skill - Artist (Calligraphy) is non-sensical, but very silly. And that was the goal. Quote:
Good idea, I'll talk to the GM about how to implement that. Thanks a bunch! |

The GM set all Attributes to 12 because in this game more than half the players never played a PnP RPG before and the GM "dumbed" it down considerably to start the game out. So in the first session we just rolled against Attributes... and since they're all at 12 it makes for easy play. I am now in the process of using GURPS GM Toolkit 1: Characters to make "Classes". These will have differing attribute scores for the different roles. I will present them here as soon as I have something I can present. |
